tv   Deep Sea Greed  Deutsche Welle  December 16, 2023 8:15pm-9:00pm CET

8:15 pm
shot after being perceived as a threat by soldiers pursuing palestinian militants in garza city. at the latest on the w news this, our next is doc films, amorianna evans, dean from me and the entire news team. thanks for the cover. the votes. people have to say the, let's why we listen to based on the reports. every weekend on d, w, the,
8:16 pm
the, in the middle of the pacific ocean, an ambitious expedition has set taps to explore the deep sea going when no human has ever gone before. where a numerous deposits of minerals night dormant country menissi benefit from this on top, the source of wealth, the technology to harvest, it already exists. the 1st prototype of a deep sea collective for the treasure stones is called atanya. it's being tested at a depth of several 1000 meters, scientists and monitoring its deployments. because what is technically feasible might actually destroy a delicate underwater wells. is it was the risk this isn't included in them. both of these are basically batteries in stone farm. this is exactly what you
8:17 pm
need to build a battery. there's manganese, nickel, cobalt and copper to conduct the electricity and environmental protection organizations such as green piece one to prevent deep sea mining its own costs. the. it's the last cost of the planet that humans have yet to exploits for resources or the oceans in danger. the sale has appeared on the horizon. the
8:18 pm
green pieces rainbow warrior was approaching the norman dennis, the, the scientists beside the unnerved, everyone was wondering what was happened, the information about this happening much, except to say that they make an action. so a pretty it's, it's for the movies and smashed designs because we don't know, these are the only thing green piece has emphasize you this such a peaceful agent. just a peaceful protest, no help. and we can only hope that's what's going on. um opens. this is cynthia, obviously waiting on the target. got that so sure. you understand. as soon as we moved away a little bit in the same way, the way go, god,
8:19 pm
we don't know what my doing. bussey to him. the con light is something is happening on the starboard sideboard, and unfortunately, we can't see it. we can trust the green peace activists found and documented their actions themselves. they approached the industrial ship and painted risk on its side. it was a protest operation on the high seas. the environmental protection organization relies on striking images and messages in many languages to galvanized supports, green paced, considered as the commercial exploitation of the deep sea to be a fatal mistake. the
8:20 pm
savannah, i'm absolute as for pollution on some name, and that's the key. they would be an absolute crime to assume that the deep sea is a barren desert, where you can do a bit of digging for manganese nodules and other oars, without having any impact on this a ton of device. that's what people would like to tell you. and i don't think the general public is aware that the deep sea is teeming with life on the companies involved. and deep sea mining aren't necessarily interested and revealing the damage that's taking place down. there is the option off the home to the time they should, including and the long term stop since and often long sandwich animals and ultimately plants such as clinton are being affected on in midland shaft. it's a little down of the, this is from dr. beasen does, it's already been proven that c o 2 has been found and the sediments deposited on the tapes you for many thousands of years switched off. that means carbon that originally came from the atmosphere, happens finished. i'm to decipher. you disturb and stir up the set of most,
8:21 pm
then there is definitely a risk that the seo to this carbon that is currently sequestered down there. then one could also be released back into the water will be the end ultimately into the atmosphere will stand off the game. the green pieces, rainbow worry, attracts the norman to energy for weeks with the aim of producing images to generate support on the system of unemployment. so putting in the boy, let's make the point right now. yeah, the all, we want to make sure the oceans continue to have the possibility in the next years, the next millennium to be climate resilient, just syncing something they can be. if we start digging and destroying the deep sea floor problem, succession to other than when it's not just taking out rocks or, and metals and then, but also the biology, the life forms and destroying their habitat to them. because all of this is involved in the climate stability of our oceans and our planet was on sundays.
8:22 pm
a meeting was held in the conference room on the islands. pride's the occasion green pasted, issued an invitation to a worldwide international video conference. i use the n g a is objective, was to prevent possible deep sea mining. it reports is on its concerns, giving arguments why disrupting the depths must be stopped at a cost before it really gets some of the way before we can either say they also took a swipe at the scientist see within researching the effects, such an intervention would have green p said it wasn't genuine science is the right size is the influence that's outraged to the scientists. they said they would continue to carry out neutral research in order to ultimately provide data on the findings,
8:23 pm
the to rule. so used by environmental protection organizations and then and so the, some of the research has showed understanding for the pro test on the high seas and the concerns of the environmental protection organization. sikesdale. hi, cliff came off on this just a very sensitive issue. everyone has the right to be concerned and also to protest . we are of course, we will try to be very neutral in our analysis on an easy and that's certainly correct. but that's always the question of what the science is used for. i says, and what the progress deciding that isn't natural stuff is albany that's will be done by the policy makers will have to develop the regulations. you have to figure it out. what we're trying to do here is record what potentially happened if a device like that with the drive around on the c field.
8:24 pm
located in the middle of the caribbean, see the island country jamaica is home to the institution that will decide what the deep sea mining is permissible, the the international c pedal, sorry a t or i a say for sure which has its headquarters here founded in 1994 by the united nations. it's the overarching body that decides what happens beneath the waves. so all that i say contract is which are a combination of different entities, some governments, some private sector, some state research organizations, all of them having view. eventually, the sustainable exploitation of deep sea mineral resources, i say,
8:25 pm
must proceed on the basis of 2 fundamental conditions. one is that we act on the basis of the best available scientific advice through extensive consultation. and the 2nd visit we act on the basis of consensus amongst the member states that make the decision that's currently a $167.00 countries, including gemini, they develop the guidelines known as the mining code according to which deep sea mining would be possible. we have a very unique opportunity here that actually has never been done before, which is that we have a whole new industry that will proceed only when the regulations of inputs in place . usually it's the other way around, industry stats. and then people start to react by trying to find a way to regulate it or to stop that things from happening or to ensure that good
8:26 pm
things happen. yeah, it's completely the other way around. we will, we have an opportunity to, to get it right before we even start, which is unprecedented actually. and this is a really great opportunity. so really, it's a, it's a very highly transparent organization where everybody has an opportunities to have the say and provide input into this emerging new industry. so this is where the decision is to be made. taking into account the interests of industry, the findings of science and the concerns of environmental protection organizations . nature conservation versus a $1000000000.00 business tool. when in the end the, the island pride was sent out to where i can, the carrie and k button. so it's an area of the science, if you read mullins t billions homes of mine, denise, no jewels are said to lie on the ocean floor here. it's an enormous tricia. and
8:27 pm
there is no way retrieving. it will happen without disturbing the deep phone. a eventually identify photography and it looks as if a snow storm had passed over the landscape and covered everything in its way on the measuring devices and needed to be brought up to deck for evaluation. a process, it took many, ellis, the, the research is eager to see what have been brought up. even though the results of the analyses would like to remain unknown for months until they were fully assessed
8:28 pm
. and then the bar trees of the institutes in europe. the 1st we've got to rinse them as because salt water is very corrosive to the electrical components within will download the data and take a look at something morganze noise. these are the manganese nodules, and you can see that they were actually covered with deposited settlement agreement, but because the water is now slashing back and forth here. the settlement just watches a way. but it doesn't matter because we have to free the nodules from the settlement anyway in order to collect the animals that live on them in the system. and you see when you come to manganese natural open, there's a core material around which it forms the state. the nodule is made up of metal oxides, manganese oxides, and then there's copper and nickel and cobalt imaging,
8:29 pm
as well as traces of other metals. and that slowly builds up around the core material. that is such a nodule with a radius of around 4 centimeters would be close to 2000000 years old. by many we all right. so the nodules, a pre historic stay, one's own eyes of the ship, tests were being carried out in the bar at chase as well as here in the cold drain . everything that had come from the depths was analyzed in detail. studying the structure and activity of microbial communities in the settlement samples is the work of tech issues such but to hon. yup. on the human history mean start to exploit and the see did results. i'm that generally, unfortunately, the best for me to them in den for us,
8:30 pm
but this time of us so exactly because we need those resources loops up because the consume a lot of this time we will see infects and maybe this time we can just stream our impact on nature then use those resources in more sustainable that environment. defend the rate. uh personally i would rather choose consume less and i don't size telephone every 2 years for example. so i've decided to reduce if possible values and recycling dance and not touch the sea floor as much as possible, but the people needed it looks so the tanya shot man has taken her seat in the control room as a biologist,
8:31 pm
she was getting the chance to search the deep sea floor for knowledge animals. working with the robot pilots. the assurance drifting by didn't to rouse much interest fast teaching list of mid t as in david. so we've got a specific list of animals that we should gather fast, and we still have about an hour to hopefully find a few more starfish on. on the few seeing them in the, in the morning, people take them to name and, and suck them up. just like a vacuum cleaner. owns um, nothings happening as of that bundle, pricing. no, i mean we will just dress the if we try to try to suck it in. yes, you can. i mean the video can try to have internet tanya, t. r,
8:32 pm
i on the cnn, the name, the, the robot found some other animals on shot to see batch data. strange. it's amazing that animals can live here. we're told where the pressure is many hundreds of times higher than the surface the was laid to the robot to finished it, search on the sea bed and was pulled back on the phone with it came the collection of animals. the biologist was quite excited to
8:33 pm
be a friend. i'm happy about but the to come back even though i am probably the only one now to see to come but goes into the cold room. so that mike monique and i sent you to tomorrow morning. so you had con, is it still alive? me? no, i don't think they can handle the pressure difference, but especially the temperature difference of over 20 degrees. they die on the way out. it was a special moment for the of the scientists to they were thrilled to hold these life forms from the depths close to them. it's difficult
8:34 pm
to world that's the tanya shot man knows that human as he barely has a clue about what lives deep below the waves bulls that they knew at the time of the mission was that bio diversity is high in the depths of the korean clip attends of stomachs, but suspect that despite gene address conditions deep below the surface, that could be great to species diversity. then even on land, it's possible that tanya shed hotman had broached
8:35 pm
a previously unknown species up on deck. honestly i'm not sure if this is a new species. that's why we're freezing it right now. it's minus 80 degrees, so that my colleagues at the same come back institute can determine if his new species we've just discovered, or if it's only one still unfamiliar to me, it's possible that this one only nips in the deep sea or i just don't know it yet it was a time of wonder and joy opposed the island pried the far away on the islands to escape that day in the atlantic. the conservationists of land to now was celebrating this small success the in summer during the night time sea tassels come on shore to lay their eggs. they
8:36 pm
usually begin reproducing at the age of 20. that's when the females find their way back to the beaches where they will have to lay that row next. the if and lucky they'll find sand to dig a hole for the next. the, the change from land to net is spending every night for 3 weeks. they find the nests digging them up and take them to the protected nursery. there are too many nest part. it says says human and animals, i like to let nature take its course. without the help of the conservationists, the titles would have an even greater struggle to survive given that shrinking habitats. there were a moments of one to every night. now at the small nest,
8:37 pm
3 baby tassels are in the jing taking their way out of the sun. it's the time of joy and satisfaction for anna into team when it's happening, you set this up so you can see the baby. so. so now we are going to fast the see how long the the wage measured and counted precise records the kept and then they given the little head stats, the off spring,
8:38 pm
a carefully carried close to the sea. so they went full prey to anything or any one on the beach. how many do you think eats yes. and there was the good luck of the the, the without the dedication of conservation is like on our team. things would be much worse for the test holes in the atlantic ocean around cape that day. the
8:39 pm
really heavy. it's always a more show. and also a moment. we hold the deck in 15 percent to use the veto service. really, we've done to me the i so this you but the, the strength and the quantity that the but on the says there is much more to be done to improve the condition of the oceans, the stripping of sand from so many beaches as those to the affected marine life just of the case. food sources for fish have dwindles and there are a few opportunities to spoon the fishes to less and less and need to go as i solved
8:40 pm
the route. but honor is proud of the fact that fishing here is sustainable. it's own about people's individual needs growth as an industrial booked him trolling. and hoax nines that extend for columbus has this no bike chinese boat takes in its catch of the day. a chain of this size is enough to feed several families. fishing like this doesn't come, ocean biodiversity, but that's not the case everywhere on the high seas. according to the u. n. food and agriculture organization. once the old fish stokes, a rosa faced, technically sophisticated lodge fishing fleets, the scouring the oceans back. catch close to set by politicians often miss the target. a huge fleet of chinese industrial
8:41 pm
fishing vessels looks around the world round the clock at sea for months. they load the couches directly on to congo ships, many billions of dollars and subsidies fuel this home full ton during the oceans. the chinese ships like this one. this specially designed to catch squids the animals are attracted by powerful lights at night. these fates fly, divorce is mainly in the indian ocean or work of south america. these images taken from space, show light sources of the coast of patagonia, evidence of chinese ships hunting for squid, the b. o. sorry caesar will but powerless. there are
8:42 pm
a few ways to monitor the most has and even if there are countries have no authority outside is that right and territorial lucius green piece was monitoring the indian ocean for months in the summer of 2021. they were that to documents as a fishing. i did legal fishing with the minor multiplex movie the i'm, i'm going to fun. in the meantime, they've gone back to using just nets. they were banned 30 years ago by the un cronan, but just a few months ago in the indian ocean, we were able to document kilometer long that's being deployed and focused on these are known as well. guns very thin, barely perceptible filaments, often made of nylon visual asthma. garnish bonding behind for kilometers. i'm deep in the ocean. hanging, kill me to bite. long one's teeth their left a long time and taken everything that drifts along in the water of us. and they don't only know their target, some bases such as to know or sort fish out. fish this into the star turtles. cellphones with wells sharks, raised and many,
8:43 pm
many other animals that are not on their list at all, and ultimately only go overboard as unwanted by cancer and she was one of inch by fung. watkin, this is the next. as in the campaign was evaluated at green peace headquarters, the activists of 9 for a long time, the life on the high seas is like nice in the wild west and yeah, or illegal fishing. the fishing and destructive fishing practices continue to strengthen ocean life and know that the let's find the best and the other ones are going to set the latest figures from the u. n. food and agricultural organizations said quite clearly about 60 percent of the world's food for stocks are exploited and exhausted to their biological limit drive. and around 30 or $32.00 are severely
8:44 pm
depleted sense and that means more is being removed from ecosystems. me more fish are being fish in the oceans, then can replenish themselves biologically and naturally you lucas will not to this indeed, not fox and come is too many facia taken, and stokes cannot renew. this also affects the fishes like here in the west and baltic sea fishing company located knows if keel is looking for ways to secure the future of gemini, small scale fishes. opening up the study has shown that college has almost disappeared and tearing this throughout the
8:45 pm
staple catches of the baltic, has been of a fished for years. as a result, the eu has almost completely banned the catch of both fish species father and son, maya are able to continue because they switch to different species and fish sustainably. we've always been fishers, and you could almost say since time in the morning. it's our lives passion and the best job there is. look around freedom, beautiful weather today and whatnot. wonderful. no stress, no annoying people kind enough to mention on the actually there's not much to allow for that. small scale fishes on the baltic of becoming a raspy. she's themselves the maya's, want to keep working within their own way with gillmet and one of the longest serving fishers here on board. and as long as i'm allowed to pilot
8:46 pm
a boat with permission from the fisheries trade association, i'll be up the hill that is kind of high volume is also fixed, cold and hiring for decades. within the last 20 years, they noticed the stokes dwindling numbers of college in the west and both take a so low some scientist style. they will have a recovery. that's why years ago the maya shifted to only catching fish. this is still relatively plentiful, isn't good. both, surely, this is place. it can, i mean everybody knows that license, i've got a wide side on for them and it's a knowingly slippery lovely, not as smooth as an heal. it is. this is, this will be the 1st. so you man and it goes and healings. we also use a beeping device by the way to ward off porpoises. you can also hear it sounds like it's quite soft now. yeah. yeah. there's one here and one at
8:47 pm
the end of end, they work off each other. i can show you that there's gotta be one every 200 meters . and they scare off the porpoise that, so they don't swim into the net when the miles have committed themselves to fishing sustainably, and taking only as much as they needs to. and the thing never the less they still struggle with you regulations is to do nothing except i'm most of them. yeah. it's to send. there's no flash on it. what are we going to do with it? why should we take it with us? how many, i just don't get it, and we have gloves on the fish having nothing. if there's a like this law applies to fishing with trawlers. mean it says we have to take everything we catch hold on getting rid of it. so it's counted towards the quota because they're supposedly dead anyway. and that's the basis for this law. yeah. if we don't get it, we're supposed to take it this, but we won't. because why should i kill it? i'm going to enter it. honestly, it's such a nonsense, at least for us,
8:48 pm
that's who owns the full the problem with this law is that wishing with a trawler is acquainted with gomez? i like like like is it? that's complete idiocy in my eyes pulling up roots. in other words, for the few fish we catch that are too small, like this one here, and we just don't take them yet at all. next, we refused to do so as let me midwife. if i got on. so we're trying to avoid medic smaller feet. how about using larger matches and much, much lights are mesh size is 10 percent larger than required. so we bring in good quality, significantly larger, the initial dorothy clothes, our profession is really getting a criminal reputation. god is already claiming that can't be ranked of it can let me think of it. so that's good news. so now things are about to get bloody industrial trolling lead to this knowledge. international fishing boat supplied the baltic for you is taking what the see how to effect sustainable fishing and sending close to the consumer became the maya is
8:49 pm
molto on the fish from cortez websites. it's not the buses and the officials are comfortable in life. some of them now i'm writing on the fish phone because that we want to sell our fish right away. what do we have? we have macro and we have target and we have plating the. we won't make 10 o'clock anymore, so we've got to change that 1st, just about 11 to one. that just takes a few seconds and then it's up on the fish bottom cuts us side right away. that's something that looks like. lemme cool. now it's reloading fish for the quote, and there's a new address only showing it back to sleep ups that can assist you. but that's where we're about to go to cell macro turban place until 1 pm. and then it goes of the vegas i've cole's dust doing the right thing is easy to come by. what you can get where you live. you know, the cutoff is that leaves us with potatoes and cabbage, but that's how we save the world. that doesn't say that's the point. we don't need huge container ships. we have one right now. there's one coming up behind us. they
8:50 pm
distribute all the junk from around the world and we just need what's here. and it's a wonderful product. honestly, i don't see any other miles, saving the wealth. if everyone behaved like this, the oceans might not be in crisis. and neither with the fishing profession the off to the 2nd world war, there was 3000 fishing businesses on the baltic coast. if she has the color stine now, and the a few dozen small fishes the left who were trying to survive via a sustainable guild, that phishing the meanwhile lodge industrial fishing boats with huge nets continue to fish as if there were no issue. the
8:51 pm
mayas has been fishes to h generations. they don't know whether it will go on. but if it does, then like this to the next, we need a macro and to place this one. yes, that's very nice. into place. yes. medium size, and that would be all for us. all right. then that 13, you're totally. sometimes it really does happen that we have no fish for 3 or 4 days when the wind blows across the baltic and we can't go out of the could. you just have to accept it other stuff, even though we're not a supermarket, we can only deliver when we catch some test flipping cut. this is, this is just resting, and so to is the house of the oceans. but as the fishing is just one reason
8:52 pm
why the oceans are in crisis, unbridled over exploitation is threatening the seas. alexandra costume limits that in the end, we will just tom ourselves as well as our environment. the granddaughter of ocean exploration, costume knows the oceans, covers 71 percent of the planets produce homes of our oxygen and absorb huge amounts of c o. 2. right now we still have the opportunity to change how we fish to put a moratorium on deep sea. my names have an opportunity to expand ocean farming in a way that's regenerated with seaweed for us growing around the world and the restoration of the grass feds, then mangroves and salt vs. we still have a chance to do that in a way that will actually rebuild our oceans and bring that life back.
8:53 pm
i think sandra costume has set up a foundation. cold oceans 2050, and it's a mis to restore ocean habitats. she and other ocean conservation advocates believe the salt list. disrespectful exploitation of marine life needs to end most these eagles that we must make a clear change, of course, towards marine protection and away from expectations. also, it goes without saying, we use resources from the see if we need them, but it has to be a regulated environmentally sustainable level. we must prevent all the damage we can print and it's actually extremely late now already. in some cases, we're 5 minutes before doomsday, and then others 5 minutes after arrival. one can only hope that our oceans also have a future because our future as humans depends on it directly to think that we're still on acquainted with the depth. where i need just beginning to understand what
8:54 pm
goes on deep below the surface and the significance, these processes have from the i phone lines. the energy transition must take place . climate change must be stopped. but is commercial mining and the deep sea west? the risk? you know, we do need a colossal amount of metal to achieve that and that metal needs to come from somewhere. and by all means, recycling is hugely important and can play a role, but it isn't enough to get us there for decades to comments. so new sources of metal will be needed. and um, for gsr we, you know, we're aiming for 2028 as the earliest date for commercial production. after a 6 week expedition exploring the deep sea, the voyage of the islands probably to slowly come to an end. the scientists did a lot of testing measuring, observing,
8:55 pm
and think. even if many final test results can only be revealed of 2 evaluation in labs back home, the research has already knew that the harvesting of the c bed was just about unstoppable sean dot com. i believe it will come at some point. we want development. we want to prove we want a high standard of living. so don't know. and i think that should be the case for the entire world population for that we will need metal in some development m of i from that perspective i, to the companies in what ways continue continue to research and trying to tap into this tricia here. and then we also if ask your opinions, david, do it since maybe then people in asia well as blog or so on. but i do believe that at some point the time will come when the mining will take place on circle. let's see. young village. yeah, that's
8:56 pm
a big on the ventilation because because most of the customers is ones, these are, those are the tradeoffs that we actually have to make as a society, or is it worth it to us to destroy our great, sustainable systems who want to indulge and this continued long term damage that goes way beyond our generation. is it worth it to us to rec, so i think because we're talking about huge areas of st bedroom by the mountain. but if we just continue on with our consumption of these metals and don't achieve a sustainable cyclical economy, we will have completely destroyed each see areas like the entire body and clipper consumer and come up with an 50 to a 100 years since we're not. yeah, i'm complex. i stood anyway talking about an area that's 30058000 kilometers. i'd try again to give you the size of your that's the time that we have destroyed nations. of course, we all need to keep that in mind. tom. i was gonna say i've, i've done my fault and the
